Hey guys!

I have some issues with fetching data from JSON.

I've created an object of type Item, this is how it looks.

struct Item: Codable, Identifiable {
    var id = UUID()
    var products: Product
}

struct Product: Codable {
    let barcodeNumber:     String      // barcode_number
    var productName:        String?     // product_name
    var category:                 String?     // category
    var brand:                      String?     // brand
    var images:                   [String]?   // images
}

This is how the object looks like:

{ "products": [ { "barcode_number": "0140157379", "barcode_type": "ISBN", "barcode_formats": "ISBN 0140157379, ISBN 9780140157376", "mpn": "11712838", "model": "", "asin": "", "product_name": "Haroun and the Sea of Stories", "title": "Haroun and the Sea of Stories", "category": "Media > Books > Print Books", "manufacturer": "Penguin Books, Inc.", "brand": "Penguin Books", "label": "", "author": "Rushdie, Salman", "publisher": "Penguin Books", "artist": "", "actor": "", "director": "", "studio": "", "genre": "", "audience_rating": "Adult", "ingredients": "", "nutrition_facts": "", "color": "", "format": "Marketplace", "package_quantity": "", "size": "", "length": "", "width": "", "height": "", "weight": "0.4", "release_date": "", "description": "Excellent Marketplace listings for \"Haroun and the Sea of Stories\" by Salman Rushdie starting as low as $1.99!", "features": [], "images": [ "https://images.barcodelookup.com/134/1342375-1.jpg" ], "stores": [ { "store_name": "Textbooks.com", "store_price": "1.99", "product_url": "https://www.textbooks.com/Haroun-and-the-Sea-of-Stories-90-Edition/9780140157376/Salman-Rushdie.php&intsrc=CATF_2377", "currency_code": "USD", "currency_symbol": "$" }, { "store_nam

Object is quite long so I am uploading only the part of it here. But the data I am interested in, is in this part. During a catch where I decode data and put into the object, catch throws an error:

 do {
                let decoder = JSONDecoder()
                decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
                let product = try decoder.decode([Item].self, from: data)
                print(product)
                completed(.success(product))

            } catch {
                completed(.failure(.chatchError))
            }

I can only assume that the error appears cause my custom object is not right. Do you have any suggestions what am I doing wrong?

Many thanks!

What is the error?

Hey!

typeMismatch(Swift.Array<Any>, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Array<Any> but found a dictionary instead.", underlyingError: nil))

var products: Product should be var products: [Product]

You will also run into issues with this:

"description": "Excellent Marketplace listings for \"Haroun and the Sea of Stories\" by Salman Rushdie starting as low as $1.99!"
